Best Physics Exercise Books for Improving Calculation Skills?

AI Thread Summary
For those struggling with physics calculations and seeking effective practice resources, the discussion highlights a need for exercise books that emphasize worked examples and exercises, particularly in Mechanics and Waves. Recommendations focus on the Schaum's Outline series, known for its comprehensive approach to problem-solving in physics. This series is suggested as a valuable tool for improving calculation skills and familiarizing oneself with various question types, making it suitable for elementary to intermediate learners.

Hello!

I'm very bad in Physics when it comes to making calculations and using formulas and answering that type of questions...
Majority of the physics books I get mostly focus on the concepts and explanations rather than the calculations...

I was wondering if you any of you guys know of any Physics exercise books (elementary to intermediate level) which has plenty of worked examples and exercises.

I'm studying basic physics (Mechanics & Waves in particular) but I really need to improve my skills in calculations and I need to be familiar with different types of questions. And what I really need is an effective exercise book so I can get loads of practice.

I'll appreciate your recommendations...

Thanks.

Regards,

Thread 'Ashcroft and Mermin: revised edition'

Hi, I have notice that Ashcroft, Mermin and Wei worked at a revised edition of the original solid state physics book (here). The book, however, seems to be never available. I have also read that the reason is related to some disputes related to copyright. Do you have any further information about it? Did you have the opportunity to get your hands on this revised edition? I am really curious about it, also considering that I am planning to buy the book in the near future... Thanks!
